I saw this in the "Known Issues" sticky, but not the patch notes. Apparently there is a new battlegrounds-related Deserter Debuff, and I can only guess that this is aimed at people who ditch a battleground early.
Does anyone konw the details of what this does, or how it gets triggered?
Here's hoping this will help punish the /afk cowards.

Currently, players can easily game the battleground queue system by leaving battlegrounds and re-entering the queue to find a more preferable group matchup. This behavior is not desired. We are aware of several bugs concerning the Deserter Debuff which are active in the 0.9.0 test realms which we will address in a timely matter.
The Deserter Debuff should work as follow:
If a player leaves a battleground by any means (/afk, walking out, hearthstone, teleport, etc) before that battle is finished, they will have a 15 minute delay (Deserter Debuff) before they are able to re-enter the queue for that battleground.
If a player who is in the delay state attempts to open the battleground queue UI by any means (entering the portal or interacting with the battlemaster), they should get an error message stating "You must wait Xmin:Ysec before re-entering the queue for this battleground."
A player should be able to leave one battleground and immediately enter the queue for a different battleground, however it should not clear their re-queue timer if they then leave the second battleground and return to the first.
